the part of the plant that most conspicuously is hit by the parasite
bud: both flower buds and leaf buds flower: also inflorescence leaf: also needle, phyllodium, petiole leaf bud: also unfolding young leaf root: also root stock, runners root collar: also the lowest part of the stem stem: also culm, the lower part of the peduncle, in grasses also leaf sheath systemic: the entire above-ground plant
PARASITIC MODE
borer: larva living internally, almost no outwards signs canker: restricted area of dead plant tissue down: 0.5-2 mm high fungal down film: very thin cover of fungal tissue free: free-living, vagrant gall: swelling and/or malformation hidden: concealed by dense webbing, leaf folds etc. leaf spot: discoloured, often ± necrotic, generally not galled, sign of a fungus infection miner > borer: larve initially makes a mine, lives as a borer later pustule: plug of fungal tissue, generally brown-black and < 2 mm saprotrophic: developing on recently dead, still identifiable, plant tissue scale: scale insect stripe: longitudinal line of fungal tissue in a grass leaf

To sort a column click on an arrow after the column name (both ascending and descending). Sort multiple columns with Shift + click on the arrows.
IMPORTANT
The host plant spectre of a parasite is rarely known exhaustively;
this applies in particular at the species level. It is advisable therefore to
check at least also the list of all parasites of this genus.
